Amanda Bynes has pleaded not guilty to two counts of hit-and-run.
The Easy A actress was charged with both counts relating to two separate incidents - where she allegedly ran into a car and fled in the scene - in April and August, earlier this month. While the Los Angeles City Attorney was initially reluctant to press charges relating to the first incident, they changed their mind after the second. If she is convicted on both counts, she could face up to 12 months in jail
According to TMZ.com, she is due back in court on October 19, and she is also facing one driving under the influence (DUI) charge and two other charges of driving on a suspended license. Amanda - who claims to have retired from acting - has displayed erratic behavior in recent months, and has been dropped by her agent, publicist and entertainment lawyer after they found they had been unable to get in touch with her for four weeks.

Dina Lohan Offers Advice to Amanda Bynes’ Parents
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Child Stars,
Dina Lohan has offered Amanda Bynes' parents advice on their out-of-control daughter.
Amanda's recent troubles - which included having her car impounded and being charged with driving on a suspended license - have been compared to the fall from grace of Dina's daughter Lindsay and she says Amanda's parents need to be there to help the 26-year-old former child star through her ongoing drama.
"You know, I'm a mother, and I feel that that's for her mother to speak about, and not me, because people have spoken for my child and myself, so I really feel that's for her parents to discuss and Amanda herself. [But] just be around... It's hard when your daughter's not, you know, over 18, and you want to let them go... and they want to, you know, feel like they're in control of themselves. So it's a very strategic place for a parent to be, but she'll be OK," she said on Entertainment Tonight.
Dina is no stranger to controversy and was recently accused of being drunk during an interview on TV show Dr Phil, something which she strongly disputes: "I was absolutely not under, intoxicated, or on any kind of medication. I was extremely upset."

Lindsay Lohan had to go to hospital after suffering a bad asthma attack, according to her mother.
The 26-year-old actress was taken to the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City on Sunday night after complaining of severe chest pains which she believed were a symptom of pneumonia. According to Dina, 50, the high pollen count in the city triggered her daughter's asthma, which was so severe she had to have medical attention.
"Lindsay had not been feeling well all last week following a week of high pollen counts in New York. She has had bronchial asthma ever since she was little," Dina said.
It was the showbiz matriarch who made Lindsay go to the hospital because she was so worried about the state of her breathing. "Dina brought Lindsay to the hospital emergency room herself. She's at Dina's home now, resting. Her mother is keeping a close eye on her. She's safe," a source told New York Daily News.

Miley Cyrus isn't in a rush to get married.
While The Hunger Games actor Liam Hemsworth popped the question to his 19-year-old girlfriend earlier this summer, Miley says she already feels married and doesn't feel any urgency about walking down the aisle.
"I already feel married. I know we are forever. I don't need the paper right now," she said.
Miley wants to concentrate on her career for the next few months and just enjoy being engaged. She is busy working on a new album and then plans to go on tour, but once her work commitments lessen, Miley will start planning the nuptials with Liam, 22.
"I don't know when we will get married yet. We are still enjoying being engaged. I've got so much planning to do with the tours and getting my record out. First I have my movie, then my record - then I'll do my wedding planning," she explained.

Lindsay Lohan went to hospital suffering with a bad lung infection last night.
The Liz & Dick actress - who has been complaining she has a case of "walking pneumonia" for a few weeks - was taken to Mt. Sinai hospital in New York after suffering with chest problems. According to TMZ.com, she was seen by medics, who gave her antibiotics, and was discharged soon after. The troubled star then went back to her hotel room to recover.
Lindsay tried to claim earlier this month she could not film her part in Scary Movie 5 - in which she stars alongside Charlie Sheen - because she was suffering from the walking pneumonia. "Lindsay missed every meeting she had for the film, including script reads and wardrobe meetings. The producers had been getting signs Friday that she was a mess, and would not be fit to work. She is under contract - so to get out of it, she had to prove that she was sick. She tried to prove she has walking pneumonia," a source said.
She eventually filmed the role.

Amanda Bynes skipped her hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) on Monday.
The 26-year-old star was formally charged on Friday with two counts of driving on a suspended license after two incidents at Burbank Airport in California and while her attorney defended her, Amanda chose to remain in New York where she is launching a fashion range after quitting acting.
"She has moved to New York indefinitely to start her fashion line," a source told E! News.
The troubled former All That star has another hearing scheduled for Thursday for two hit-and-run charges, but insiders say she has no plans to return for that court appearance either.
Amanda has faced a string of recent troubles including having her car impounded and facing charges of DUI (driving under the influence). She was also involved in two bizarre episodes last week, locking herself in a store changing room for nearly two hours and refusing to come out and stripping off during a gym class.

Tom Cruise misses daughter Suri "very much."
The 50-year-old actor is currently in Europe filming new movie All You Need Is Kill, while the six-year-old tot is in New York with her mother and Tom's ex-wife Katie Holmes, and the distance is starting to take its toll on Tom.
"Tom talks to Suri several times a day. He misses Suri very much. Tom and Suri are very, very close. He's up on everything that's going on in her life," a source close to Tom told People.
Tom's attorney Bert Fields recently revealed the Rock of Ages star was calling Suri twice a day as he wants to play a big part in her life. "Tom has been in England shooting a film. He calls Suri every day, sometimes twice a day. He loves Suri and is a constant presence in her life. As in the past, when he's shooting in a foreign country, he has to rely on daily phone calls," he said.

Amanda Bynes has been dropped by her agent, publicist and entertainment lawyer. The troubled Easy A actress has been abandoned by three of her team in recent weeks, with them all claiming it is due to her behavior becoming increasingly erratic in recent months.
One source told TMZ.com her management team haven't been able to get in touch with the former child star in a month and attempts to get help her before she went under the radar had all failed.
Amanda has had a turbulent few months, including recently having her car impounded and her driving license suspended while she faces charges of DUI (driving under the influence) and multiple accusations of hit and run. The 26-year-old star says she is responsible and that she never drinks and drives, as well as claiming she is quitting acting, which could explain why she hasn't talked to her managers.

Demi Lovato Always Had Body Issues

Demi Lovato says her body issues began when she was three. The X Factor judge - who has spent time in rehab getting treatment for her eating disorder and self harming - admits she felt she was overweight from a very young age, and the insecurities have stayed with her.
"I remember being three years old in a diaper and rubbing my hand over my stomach ... and I remember thinking in my head, 'I wonder if one day this will ever be flat?'" she said on Katie.
The 20-year-old beauty - who has recently been named as the new ambassador of an anti-bullying campaign - was targeted at school as the girls used to tease her for her appearance. "It played more of a toll on me than if I was physically abused in school. I've always said I wished that they had just hit me in the face and gotten it over with because what they said to me sticks to me to this day and it affected me, (turned) me into the person I am today. I was bullied and they called me fat and they called me horrible things," she added.
